Today's Reading - Today's Gift

"One is forever throwing away substance for shadows." Jennie jerome Churchill Sometimes we trade possessions with our friends. maybe we want to add to our collection, or perhaps we just do it to get someone to like us. But if we try to buy friendship, we'll be sad later when we realize we've lost a prized posssssion and not gained a friend. Our friendships come when we least expect them, often with people who have something in common with us. They will not be friendships we have to buy, but relationships to treasure and have for years. These friendships will teach us to respect ourselves and our friends. Am I making good friends, or bad trades?
